(“AnalytixInsight”, or the “Company”) (TSX-V: ALY; OTCQB: ATIXF), announces the development of an AI-assisted North American stock trading and research platform, and reports financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

• AI-assisted stock trading & research platform to be developed for North American market under a strategy to launch a suite of offerings including research, proprietary scores, and unique order management systems that assess investor risk tolerance metrics,
• Robo-advisor to be added to InvestoPro, the European stock trading platform that received regulatory approval in March 2021, as an additional product offering within its wide range of AI-assisted education and trading tools,
• Payment processing to be added to InvestoPro, pending regulatory approvals, which would allow InvestoPro users to make payments, remittances, and money transfers between accounts, and
• Intesa Sanpaolo to begin the migration of stock trading accounts to InvestoPro in the third quarter of 2021. Intesa Sanpaolo is one of the top banking groups in Europe with approximately 11.6 million multichannel customers and approximately 7.1 million customers using the Intesa Sanpaolo App.

Development of North American Stock Trading and Research Platform

AnalytixInsight intends to develop a stock trading platform that is designed for North American users, banks, and brokers that will integrate CapitalCube, InvestoPro, and GEMINA attributes to offer real-time quotes, financial analysis, robo-advisory, and stock trading.

AnalytixInsight is an established AI-driven content supplier with the ability to offer scalable machine-created research content on approximately 50,000 worldwide stocks and North American ETFs through its CapitalCube platform. CapitalCube provides AI-driven research reports to Refinitiv, an LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) business and one of the world’s largest providers of financial markets data and infrastructure. Under the Refinitiv initiative, CapitalCube has already published more than 13,000 reports on company earnings, dividend quality, and pre-revenue company analysis, and embeds ESG scores and ESG metrics into its proprietary analysis and narratives. ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is commonly used as a generic term by investors and regulators to evaluate corporate behaviours. CapitalCube also performs robo-analysis of stocks and North American ETFs, allowing robo-portfolio selection based on broad market metrics, dividend quality, Efficient Frontier computations, and more.

AnalytixInsight’s FinTech affiliate, MarketWall, has developed InvestoPro as a European online broker allowing users to trade stocks, options, and derivatives. Through its interconnection with CapitalCube, InvestoPro has been enabled as an AI-assisted trading platform incorporating artificial intelligence and machine-created content to assist investors in making investment decisions. As a Samsung Electronics partner, the InvestoPro app is also preloaded on certain Samsung devices in Europe. Intesa Sanpaolo, one of the top banking groups in Europe with approximately 7.1 million customers using the Intesa Sanpaolo App, is expected to introduce InvestoPro to its customers as its online digital trading platform, with migration of stock trading accounts to InvestoPro anticipated to begin in July 2021. MarketWall also intends to begin the regulatory process steps to add payment processing capabilities to InvestoPro to enable users to make payments and transfer funds between accounts. MarketWall offers its next-generation trading platform as a white label B2B product offering to banks and brokers under the brand GEMINA, allowing a bank or broker to license the online stock trading solution for deployment under their own brand, interconnected to their existing trading platform.

Worldwide interest in online brokers increased significantly in 2020, as a new generation of investors got their start in investing and opened online accounts in record numbers. AnalytixInsight is uniquely positioned to provide the tools investors are now seeking such as AI-assisted financial analysis, market commentaries, ESG scores, training, education, and more.

The Company therefore intends to develop a stock trading platform for North American users, banks, and brokers, that will integrate the attributes of CapitalCube, InvestoPro and GEMINA to offer real-time quotes, financial analysis, investor education, robo-advisory, stock trading, and more.

AnalytixInsight
AnalytixInsight is an established AI-driven content supplier with the ability to offer research content on small & mid-cap companies worldwide through its CapitalCube platform which delivers scalable, machine-created content. Its powerful analytics engine is capable of 100 billion daily computations and currently provides analysis on approximately 50,000 worldwide stocks and North American ETFs.

CapitalCube provides AI-driven research reports to Refinitiv, an LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) business and one of the world’s largest providers of financial markets data and infrastructure. Under the Refinitiv initiative, CapitalCube has already published more than 13,000 reports on company earnings, dividend quality, and pre-revenue company analysis. It embeds ESG scores and ESG metrics on approximately 9,000 global companies into its proprietary analysis and narratives. ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is commonly used as a generic term by investors and regulators to evaluate corporate behaviours. ESG factors are rapidly increasing in importance by investment professionals when making investment decisions. For example, a recent study by the European Fund and Asset Management Association reports that asset managers in Europe manage almost EUR 11 trillion in assets that take some form of ESG considerations into account.

The Company believes that its ability to create scalable financial content on companies worldwide is being recognized with increasing importance as global industry leaders embrace the use of AI in fundamental financial analysis.

AnalytixInsight’s Workforce Optimization division, Euclides Technologies Inc., joined the IFS Partner Network in 2018 and is advancing its sales initiatives in the Field Service Management (FSM) industry. IFS is a world leader in developing Workforce Optimization enterprise software for global customers who manage service-focused operations. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many North American businesses and is disrupting the traditional operations of service-based organizations. They are now seeking innovative solutions for field dispatch, job tracking, and workflow efficiency. Data analytics plays an important role in this shift, which is more easily enabled now that most service technicians use digital-based solutions.

The Company is working collaboratively with IFS to design and build machine learning and deep learning solutions that are designed to improve Workforce Optimization and Scheduling in the FSM industry. The initial design of these solutions is targeted to meet the needs of customers in the Energy and Utilities industry verticals using cybernetic methods of human-machine intelligent interaction. Machine learning algorithms based on cybernetics will facilitate insightful learnings from the data currently generated by the FSM industry. The Euclides division is a highly skilled systems integration team experienced in integrating IFS and Salesforce field management solutions. The Company is applying an increased focus on this initiative with new solutions and strategies that are emerging as a result of COVID-19.

MarketWall
MarketWall is a 49%-owned FinTech online digital solutions provider to major financial services firms in Europe. It draws an audience of over 2.5 million monthly visitors through its multi-device platform and social media presence. As a Samsung Electronics partner, MarketWall’s financial apps are preloaded on certain Samsung devices in Europe.

MarketWall has developed InvestoPro, a European online broker that has received regulatory approval from CONSOB (Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa), the Italian financial markets regulator. InvestoPro has been jointly introduced to the market by MarketWall, AnalytixInsight, and Intesa Sanpaolo, whose customers are anticipated to be able to access online trading with their bank credentials. InvestoPro facilitates trading in stocks, options, and derivatives, and uses Intesa Sanpaolo as its execution broker. MarketWall’s editorial team publishes investor-related content on InvestoPro, providing weekly stock market summaries, worldwide financial market outlooks, educational content for stocks, bonds, currencies, new emerging industry trend analysis, and more.

InvestoPro Lite is available as a Progressive Web App (PWA). PWAs function like web browsers with the convenience of an app-like format that can be downloaded to the home screen of any device (desktop, mobile, tablet) for quick access. PWAs require less memory space and data usage compared to native apps while offering quicker load times and the ability to use certain features when offline.

MarketWall expects to initiate a valuation process to determine its appropriate valuation within a peer-based context of online brokerage firms with partnerships with world-leading banks. Completion of this process is expected to allow AnalytixInsight to move forward with its intention of a spinout to unlock the value of its MarketWall holdings in an IPO or other such strategies.

MarketWall offers its next-generation trading platform, GEMINA, as a white label B2B product offering. GEMINA allows MarketWall to approach banks and brokers globally to license the online broker solution for deployment under their brand. GEMINA will interconnect to that bank or broker’s existing trading platform. For example, a traditional full-service broker in Canada that does not have a retail online discount offering can simply license GEMINA for deployment under its existing brand, thus avoiding the time and costs for it to develop its own offering. With retail traders now flocking to online trading platforms, traditional brokers are now forced to offer online trading to avoid losses of clients or assets. GEMINA is the solution and is fully customizable by the broker.

MarketWall is 33% owned by Intesa Sanpaolo, the leading bank in Italy and one of the soundest and most profitable banks in Europe. It offers commercial, corporate investment banking, asset management, and insurance services. The Intesa Sanpaolo Group has approximately 14.7 million customers in Italy who are assisted through both digital and traditional channels. It also has 7.1 million international customers which it serves through its commercial banking subsidiaries present in 12 countries in Central-Eastern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, and through an international network dedicated to corporate customers in 26 countries. Intesa Sanpaolo is considered one of the most sustainable banks in the world.
